Young readers discover the breathtaking beauty of both the moon and of the earth as they take an imaginary trip to the moon.

With captivating pictures and elegant, informative prose, readers both young and old will happily embark on a rocket flight hurling them into an exciting space adventure.

Highly recommended. ( )

This book allows students to take an imaginary journey to the moon. It provides factual information about space travel without being too information and fact heavy. I think children would really enjoy reading this book in the classroom, so I will be sure to use it in my future classroom. This and the biography on Neil Armstrong would go great together. ( )
